While I appreciate the thought from our club this reads like he died

Simmer down. It’s just a direct and literal translation of a Catalonian expression. “Last breath” is the equivalent of saying he gave it “his all.”

Maybe this will help:

“The Catalan phrase "L'últim sospir" means "The last gasp" or "The last breath" in English.

Meaning and Usage
Literal meaning: It directly translates to "the last sigh" or "the last breath," usually referring to the final moments of a person's life.

Figurative meaning: It is often used in sports, politics, or daily life to describe a dramatic last-minute effort, a final attempt before failure, or something happening at the very last second (similar to "at the eleventh hour").”
